    Please do triple down on the excuses for the next four years. It will only make it easier for Republicans to keep winning.
    Dems will sue Trash and his predatory, destructive mafia cabinet to block EVERYTHING.

    Don The Con's white work class, having had the Dems save their financial asses and even lives, better vote Dem next time.

    The GOP threw tantrums for eight years and look where it got them. Anger and hate stuffed the lallot box and will again.

    Well it worked it got them the WH and congress. Now conservatives want to question why liberals aren't on board with Trump when you had a Republican congress who said their whole goal was to make Obama a one-termer. Yeah I am sure liberals are eager to stand behind Donald Trump as their leader.

    "For next year, I think I'm just going to harp on 'why we do we need two Dakotas'. Can we just start with that? There definitely should not be 4 Senators from the Dakota territory. If there's 2 Dakotas, we should have 15 ing Californias."

    ... usually not a fan of bill maher but that was funny

    What is sad about the Dems is that at a time when they should be introspecting, they're looking to shift blame for their own failures, ensuring that the DNC establishment doesn't actually change. This election wasn't actually a referendum on Trump, it was a referendum on what passes for the modern representatives of the liberal left in America, the Democratic party.
    They're blaming the loss on everything, from sexism of Bernie supporters to Russia to fake news to everyone who voted against them being stupid. The left finally got an actual populist that talked about actual real issues like trade deals, stopping monopolies and putting term limits on Congress, and what did the DNC do? They crushed him to continue the failed policies of the liberal establishment.

    They have abandoned their core principles. What passes for "liberal" today in America has almost nothing to do with classic liberalism (individual rights, freedom of thought/speech...etc). The great liberal tradition that rejects regressive dogmatic ideologies and which is compassionate to the working class stiffs that build the country is now gone. The left-wing movement in this country, at least going back the last 20 years or so, hasn't really been one of left-wing economics or individualistic free thinking, or using government to improve the lives of the working and middle classes. What's passed for left-wing politics in this country is really just iden y politics: promising to give various handouts to some identifiable minority group (blacks, women, illegal immigrants, lgbt...etc).
    Democrats, you have completely and utterly lost touch with the common man, whose concerns used to be at the very center of the political left.

    Today that electrician stringing up wires of homes in Wisconsin, that welder putting together steel plates in Pennsylvania, that man fixing an elevator in Ohio, the many men across the country with dirt under their nails from working with their hands....these aren't your people anymore.
    Instead you are now the party of the gender studies graduate with manicured nails, lecturing others about the evil racist sexist America, telling the struggling white working class that they hold white privilege and therefore hold an eternal debt to all non-white people based purely on the color of their skin.
    The DNC is the the party of those who go absolutely nuts when a Christian baker doesn't want to be forced to bake a cake for a gay wedding, yet instantly jumps in to defend insanely backwards ideologies like Islam when yet another Muslim mass murders innocent sexuals.

    It is the party of collusion with media to mislead the public, of corruption and saying nice empty pla udes that have been filtered through 5 focus groups as to not offend anyone while doing the very opposite of these pla udes.
    It is the party of Black Lives Matter, the oppression Olympics, of 20 different gender pronouns, virtue signalling and all the noxious ideas like "social justice" that claim that all difference in outcome must be due to some etheral discrimination, and that places the collectivist forced equality of outcome over the rights of an individual.
    It is the party of the smug air of moral superiority, of ivory tower at udes holding contempt and instantly discounting the views of regular people that don't hold a degree studying Critical Theory or the works of Juddith Butler.

    And what has this disconnect lead to? The following:

    Republicans have won a majority in the House of Representatives, with 238 seats.
    Republicans have won the majority in the Senate.
    Republicans now hold 33 Governorships, with a gain of three seats on November 8.
    Republicans control a record 68 of 98 state legislative chambers.
    Republicans now hold more total state legislature seats, well over 4,100 of the 7,383, than they have since 1920

    A former reality TV star with no government experience whatsoever won the White House.
    President Trump will have one Supreme Court vacancy to fill immediately and could potentially add at least two more justices before his first term is finished.
    The GOP now controls all levels of our government, it is the most powerful it has been in over 80 years according to Real Clear Politics and Washington Post.
    Come the midterms in 2018, the electorate map looks really good for the GOP and they could easily win enough seats to pass the threshold needed for them to start changing the Cons ution completely unopposed.
    You could have prevented this. You could have kicked out the out of touch elitists and candidates that can't connect with the average person, you could have listened to the common man instead you treated them like utter garbage, with the insufferable arrogance of guilt tripping and shaming everyone who disagrees with your iden y politics nonsense.

    You made this bed.
    And god damn do you deserve to now sleep in it.

    This is so true. I'm pretty sure every guy that works for me including the 20 somethings votes Republican. That's why I never believed that hispanics would block vote for Democrats over the immigration issue. To many are just hard working family guys with aspirations of success that don't buy into the Liberal democratic bull .

    Boo, it's not about Trump. It's about rejecting the far left Democratic party and what it stands for now.

    I'd much rather have the Far Left than the Far Right. The entire Repug party is Far Right now. Watch them (continue to) screw everybody, or at best do nothing for anybody but BigCorp/VRWC/1% and above Trash himself. Crony capitalism at its most corrupt.

    We understand you are left of even Sheila Jackson Lee and on the same intellectual level as well.


    That's why it's so much fun laughing at your hourly meltdowns.

    How can you say that after this election? The republicans chose Trump over all the conservatives and things are gonna go more his way. I think you might (secretly) like what Trump does - if you can ignore all the "ism"s. He is fiscally conservative (well, compared to the Dems) but socially neutral/left-center (don't think he really cares about govt and social issues). He's probably aghast at what govt is spending see the F-35? (never can remember what number).

    This is one I always think of when I analyze the flaws of today's democrats. It's way too much iden y politics and double standards to ever hold up under objective scrutiny.

    goddam, you're stupid.

    Trash is a conservative, and extreme conservative in practice who will sign every bill the Congressional ESTABLISHMENT Repugs put on his desk.

    Trash's Boeing and F-35 bull is pure made-for-TV propaganda. Both programs are huge Corporate Welfare socialism, transferring $Ts from taxpayers to BigCorp.

    Mike Pence is extreme right wing LGBT hater, which is more important than Trash "sounding" (lying) like social moderate.

    Congressional Repugs will not moderate their attacks on LGBTQ, their War on (poor) Women, and Trash will not stop them.

    goddam, you're stupid.

    no meltdown, no lost mind, just slapping you deplorable Trash fellators as he and his administration shape up to be nothing but textbook far right extremists on every single issue. For which, you assholes have nothing to say in his defense, nor in yours.

    Pointing out your meltdown isn't exclusive to CC, the entire forum is witnessing your epic meltdown. I would pay someone good money to hack into your webcam and broadcast you feverishly hammering away at your keyboard for 14 hours of the day.

    I see absolutely no difference in the tone or content of Boutons' posts pre and post election, tbh.

    I don't get this meltdown claim whatsoever. That's just the way he posts.
